Cultivate beauty and wisdom in and around you

Welcome to Fall! My favorite time of the year. The only thing that makes my days better is having Hugo, Jennifer and Nora here. They arrived and we have been blessed by lots of baby smiles. Nothing can warm a grandparents heart like those sweet smiles when you know she is recognizing you. We had a family barbecue on Sunday and here is Grandpa holding Nora. We had a gathering of the cousins. It was really nice seeing everyone again. My girls Ginny, Carrie and Jennifer and their two cousins Tammy and Alicia and the cousins kids. Sylvia has moved into the dorm at PSU and Nora was taking a nap. Nice memory making day. #################################################### BE SURE TO READ TO THE END OF THE POST.....NEWS ON THE NEW BLOCK OF THE MONTH!!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The NW Quilting Expo starts this Thursday.

I love these beautiful fall days with a touch of coolness. I hear hot days are coming again. I hope not for long. Just a quick reminder of the events coming up in the next week or so. This Friday September 5 is our First Friday Class. This is a group of ladies who like to sew together. Some have been coming since we met at Quilters Corner, some have just begun coming. You are most welcome. We will begin at 10:00 and I'll serve you lunch. We will sew on what ever you like. I have some wool projects that I want to finish and look forward to seeing what you bring. Class is $10.00. ####################### I was blessed with lunch with a great friend yesterday at one of my favorite places. Yum. I have been going to the one on 82nd Ave. since High School. Lunch was good, friendship is the best. Thanks, Mary Ann. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Another place I like to go for coffee and sweet treats is Crema. 2728 SE ANKENY STREET  +  PORTLAN...
